Now that we can't get mile master anywhere in Nigeria any longer, what have you 5w-20 folks been using in you cars? I'm way due for servicing but don't know a trusted replacement I can use for mile master which I have been using for like 2yrs now without any issues.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Help a brother, Save an engine today!

I have a 2006 model. I service after 3000 miles with Milemaster engine oil or any oil with grade 5w20.
I've had the annoying vibration at 60kmph severally. Had to change the shafts on every ocassion (2 or 3 pair of shafts in close to 3yrs of use).
Never had any issue with the engine since i started driving mine. Changed plugs once and oil seal once. no overheating, no erratic sensors, no electrical issues, and the a/c plus sound system is badass. Just the suspension every once in a while. Great car. Be nice to it and it will be nice to u.

Hello Nairalanders, i bought a used mazda6. Please anyone who has used this type of car should tell me how to manage this car. How often do i need to service the car, when do i need to change brake pads, belts etc
I like the car although i found out i have to work on the power steering because i notice leaks each time i top ATS oil, and the car steering vibrate each time i do 60km/h

Please i have always found your advice useful. Users of the same car or auto personnel, please your candid advice.
the car has registered 105k miles

Your condenser should be cold, not hot !!!! (in action)

Actually, the condenser is usually hot, not cold. That's why some vehicle manufactures have a separate fan for it, or for cars with single fans, the fans revolves faster when the ac is on, so the heat can be dissipated better.

If you have a split unit air conditioner, the outdoor unit houses the condenser, and I'm sure you can feel the heat when you stand by it. If anything is cool at all, it's the evaporator. That's where the cooling of the air takes place.

Pls, where can i get atf M-V in Lagos for my 2007 mazda 6 and what's d price like?
Thanks

Bro, did u get eventually? Which did u use in the long run and how was the performance thereafter? Tnx

Thanks.

Hello Sooperrescue,
My owner's manual recommends AFT M-V as replacement. I'm presently due for transmission oil change as the one in now has turned brown! It's a 2006 mazda.
That specification is difficult to come by. Could you recommend an option I could use and won't end up with a burnt transmission.
Thanks in adv.

Only Samsung phones sir

saintjoel:


Sincerely sir,i can't understand what you have written,which car did you buy and is the sum in naira or cefa,kindly explain,thanks.

I bought a hyundai accent 2006 model. The buying price for the car was NGN798k which was about 2.3mllion at the exchange rate as at the time of purchase. What I am saying is that i had to part with additional NGN600k to get the car delivered to my house. According to my agent, the 600k covers cost of clearing, something about security and Nigerian customs duty.

The question is: does it cost so much to move the car out of the car lot up to the time it is delivered to the customer or did my agent mix up the figures.

I bought an 06 car from. Cotonou. Buying price was around 800k. Cost of bringing it to my house was around 600k extra. Is it that expensive to move d car out of the car lot to Lagos?

My 06 mazda 6 didn't come with a rear wing spoiler cos it's the entry level model. Can I get aftermarket or stock spoiler and other parts to fix from ladipo or anywhere else in Nigeria for that matter. EBay is not an option. I've tried, they don't ship to Nigeria in most cases.

Can we see pictures. Pleeeeeeaaase...

Do you own a Mazda car, truck, or SUV like Mazda 3,5,6,millinea,protege,tribute,CX etc. Lets talk and share our experiences. What is your view on these cars? Fuel economy, interior/styling, engine, how strong the body is? etc.
I own a 2007 mazda 6i 2.3l 4cyl. The fuel economy is very superb, beautiful car but no much power from idle. I travel appro. 45miles daily by 5days/week and it uses a half tank of 68.0litre full tank capacity. It got a superb bose sound systems,beautiful interior and exterior, twin exhaust, bezel xenon headlamps. No mechanical or electrical problems so far. I use a mobil 1 oil 0w40 for my services. All fluids are intact. All-in-one, my 2007 mazda 6i is a sweet car for a young and classic mind. It's eye catchy.
Lets know yours please.

theres a very good strictly mazda specialist at ikeja,just take the road near etiebets place where channels television used to be go straight down and take a left ask anybody around there for kehinde motors, we have a couple of mazda buses and they do the repairs and they are really good and will not over charge or act funny as the man that owns the place and most of his senio mechanics are born again christians

Is the workshop still there please? Just got one and need a mechanic to be on standby in face those funny symptoms start creeping in...

Thanks Bro

It's a very nice car, if you will find one that is in really good shape it will give you a lots of fan from driving.

Try to find one with 1.8l or 2.0l petrol engine, about the gearbox , maunal and automatic , both are good but the way that they taking care about automatic gearboxes in Nigeria... hmm

As a mechanic engineer from Europe:

My advice if it will be automatic , buy proper gearbox oil and filter and change them right away after buying the car ! It will give you a pece of mind for a really long time ! If you don't know what type of oil it use, feel free to ask me.

If you have a chance try to scan the whole car before buying, by scan i mean plug in the computer in to the car and check for any errors in engine, ABS, airbag,gearbox, etc. modules.

Regards Oktawian

Kizyte:

Well, not bad but not sporty enough. Thanks anyway.

Not sporty? Are you kidding me? You ought to drive one of these babies - the first generation, these Toyotas (no pun intended to Toyota fans) can't compare.

With N1m I can get you 2003/04 Mazda 6

I want 07 mazda 6 urgently please. How much does it go for with full duty to lag? May I have your contact please.

chucky234:
If you are serious then peep me

What's your PIN?

Face-lifted version will do just fine

Yes! I want to buy!!! The photos of the 6s my cotonou contact showed me didn't look so fresh. Don't want a sorry looking 6 for a first car. Where can I buy a real nice 6i, 07 model, touring or grand touring?
Yankee is not an option please cos the ride won't get here before end of April when cost of import duty will be jacked up by 70%

I'm hunting for mazda 6 2007 touring. Anyone with useful information on where I could buy a neat one should help please. I've checked olx, cheki and carmudi.
Please help a brother before I change my mind and buy one of these bland, not fun to drive, very plain toyotas.
Thanks.

Pls help I can't find where to register as a first timer on their site.

It's because your battery is low. Charge your phone then try again...

You are my person. I was scrolling down to remind them of the missing $20bllion when I saw your post. That money when found shall be more than enough to finance revenue short fall.

Like Fashola said... Burj Khalifa in Dubai cost $1.5 billion to build. Nigeria has lost $20 billion...

That money will definitely be enough to cushion the effect of revenue shortfall.

Oga cool down na. Just educate the lad already. I had a good laugh tho.

tonte:
I'm assuming that you are just joking with this your post...if you are not, then I'd like to assume that you are underage and so cannot understand anything that has to do with macroeconomics, and if you aren't underage and you think like this, then you need to get educated or else, in all honesty, you are finished

blakky97:

210km/hr. this is the funniest joke so far

It's no joke. I have personally experienced speeds up to 210km/h and it wasn't on any autobahn. It was on third mainland.

On a Monday morning. **sigh** What kind of excuse can one cook up to be absent from one's duty post on a Monday morning?
@Mellorix, U didn't ask me but I applied for Helpdesk Officer. What info do u have to furnish us with please?

Could you pls post some of the pictures.

Please leave GEJ alone. He's still the president, clueless or not. Haba! Show the guy some respect.

A perfect balance of PHCN and renewable energy sources will be just fine.
PHCN when you require cooling (refrigerator, air conditioning) and solar when you need to power appliances with fairly low energy consumption. You can use energy saving bulbs (which consume far lower than regular bulbs yet emit practically no heat, whilst achieving the same lighting effect), flat screen TVs, rather than CRTs, etc.

Act like they don't exist and move on with your life. Simple as that...

Let Kayode post what he has here. If anyone is interested, they will signify. That's the way business is done.
